# The ghost

How the build is drawn in your world and what you can change about it.

## What is drawn

* Blocks with their real models and states, including blocks from other mods.
* Leaves, glass, water and lava look the way they do in the world.
* Chests, signs with their text, shulker boxes and banners.
* Decoration made of entities: armor stands, item frames, paintings, displays, minecarts and boats.

Mobs such as villagers and animals in a schematic are not drawn.

## Settings

* **Ghost opacity default 85%:** How see-through the ghost is.
* **Tint ghost blue default On:** Makes the ghost slightly blue, so it is easy to tell from real blocks.
* **Hide correct blocks default On:** Stops drawing the ghost where you already placed the right block.
* **Vanilla face shading default On:** Shades faces by direction like the game does.
* **Occlusion culling default On:** Only draws faces on the outside. Faster.
* **Entity render distance default 64 blocks:** How far away chests, signs and entities of the ghost are drawn.

## Resource packs and shaders

The ghost uses your resource pack. Not every shader pack shows the ghost: Complementary and vanilla-style packs work, Photon does not show it yet.
